If you *REALLY* need all the functionality of sendmail inside your
program then you need to consider other options. Such as using
Net::SMTP to connect to a central postfix/qmail/sendmail/exim/<insert
mta here> hub that is configured to handle your email. Running a
local sendmail on app servers tends to hog cpu time that would be
*MUCH* better used on other things and the only thing it gives you is
protection from that mail server going down, which should be taken
into account in the program anyway.
